School Health Program Helpful Information
The goals of our school health services program are to:
- Identify health problems and needs of pupils and staff
- Assist pupils in becoming increasingly responsible for their own health
- Promote optimal level of health for pupils and staff
- Promote environmental safety and health within the school and during school related activities
- Provide health education and health counseling for pupils, parents and staff
- Provide direct health services in an efficient and cost-effective manner
- Maintain a liaison with primary health care providers
Health Conditions
It is my goal to identify and safely care for students with acute and chronic health conditions. The parent/legal guardian is responsible for completing a Health History Form at the beginning of each academic school year; and, contacting the school nurse, if individualized health/emergency action plans, medications (daily, emergency, and “as needed”), skilled procedures, adaptive devices, etc. are needed at school.
Emergency Contact Information
Parents/legal guardians are responsible for notifying the school and school nurse when emergency contact information changes.
Student Transfers
A student transferring from another school system must present the most recent certificate of immunization; and, if attending a public school in NC for the first time, a Health Assessment Transmittal Form.
